Hardness study on human dental enamel Hysitron Triboindenter indenter applications

Abstract

The design of the nanohardness work is carried out within a research framework of the Histology and Embryology Department and is represented by a unit of analysis, the microstructure of tooth enamel. The levels of organization of the enamel microstructure will be evaluated considering the level of prisms (prismatic and aprismatic enamel) and the level of enamel types (radial and with Hunter-Schreger bands). To carry out this study, an immersion in non-alcoholic beverages was perform, evaluating a commercial cola-flavored beverage and a commercial orange-flavored beverage, thus analyzing the effects of the action of said beverages on the adamantine tissue.
